(a)
Interpretation:
Plot the calibration curve of height of oil versus gauge pressure. Estimate the height of oil to a gauge reading of 68 kPa and calculate the mass of oil in the tank corresponding to this height.
Concept introduction:
It is given that oil is stored in a closed tank. The tank is 10 m high, 16 m in diameter. The oil has a specific gravity of 0.92.
In addition, amount of oil in the tank can be determined from gauge pressure,
The exerted by a fluid column can be calculated as,
Pressure = h ρ g
Where, h = height of the fluid, ρ = density of the fluid
(b)
Interpretation:
Calculate the actual height of the oil for the given case.

Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?arrow_forwardWhy do some small bridges have weight limits that depend on how many wheels or axles the crossing vehicle has?arrow_forward
- 105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction.
